In this chapter we give an idea of the characteristics and peculiarities of so-called ‘provincial art’ in Roman Germany. We shall focus in particular on images, but also occasionally on objects, recovered in the provinces of Germania Inferior, Germania Superior, Gallia Belgica, and Raetia. The emphasis will be less on the artistic value of the images and objects and much more on their capacity to convey information. Communication by means of images created a wide-ranging and diverse theatre of exchange; these images were often rigidly codified, or—for example when images were reproduced in series—mass-produced and hence standardized to project and propagate a specific vision. The use and attributes of the images are at the core of our considerations; we aim to provide an understanding of the language employed, of the images’ function as a medium of communication, and of the processes that underlay their production.

This study examines wave attenuation and power flow characteristics of sandwich beams with internal absorbers. Two types of absorbing systems embedded in the core are considered, namely, a conventional spring-mass-dashpot system having a mass with a spring and a dashpot in parallel, and a relaxation system containing an additional relaxation spring added in series with the dashpot. Analytical continuum models used for interpreting the attenuation behavior of sandwich structures are presented. Through the analysis of the power flowing into the structure, the correlation of wave attenuation and energy blockage is revealed. The reduction in the power flow indicates that some amount of energy produced by the external force can be effectively obstructed by internal absorbers. The effects of parameters on peak attenuation, bandwidth, and power flow are also studied.

The Core

Questions about artistic value are not nicely uniform or all raised at the same level of inquiry. In this article they are divided up into three groups of issues: meta-aesthetic, ontological, and normative. The first of these concern the nature of a judgement of artistic value. The second concerns the nature of such value itself. The last concerns the core question of what is artistically valuable about art, and how one brings the various valuable features of a work to bear in arriving at an evaluation of the work. Though these are different questions, there are not sharp boundaries between them. The article begins with the latter two issues, saving meta-aesthetics for last.

If that is the priority in weighing the mind and exploring the core of the perspective of thinking, of course, will move on to a "statement". Where the platform of thought will be the entrance and open a gap for other thoughts, because the thinking perspective finds the value of "abstract". The context of thinking is more about extracting the essence of thinking, so the value of art becomes abstract. The reality of the meaning of art is not only a question of form, but more than that, art will play freely about form. The basic theory of writing, using a qualitative frame of mind, using a curatorial approach. The form of virtue in art is actually not based on purely aesthetic values, but the depth of ideas as a way of "enlightenment" to determine the direction where we should be oriented. The result of this thought is, the continuity of artistic value is certainly constructed by; Awareness of the value of intensity, ethics-technique, psychology and full awareness of the essence of ideas (philosophy of art). So the perspective of virtue in art is the awareness of thinking about the abstraction of the universe itself, which is manifested in the form of works, namely the work of two dimensions of Text Art.

Software, more than anything else, is at the heart of the information communication infrastructure. It is in fact one of the three main components of the infrastructure, together with hardware and humanware, as we discussed before. Being at the core of this infrastructure we all depend on implies the importance we must put on the software component. In this chapter, we are going to focus on this role and how we can keep software safe, dependable, and secure, as we struggle to make the information communication infrastructure secure. For the remainder of this chapter, we are going to focus on the quality of the service of software products, causes of software failures, developer and buyer protection, and techniques for improving software quality.

Many lives were saved due to local disaster prevention activities such as evacuation guidance during the Great East Japan Earthquake. On the other hand, those involved in local disaster prevention activities were negatively affected in many cases. Therefore, local disaster prevention activities and safety-ensuring measures during large-scale disasters are being reviewed. This paper focuses on fire companies that are expected to develop and implement the core of local disaster prevention activities. In order to study the effectiveness of safety measures in areas that are vulnerable to natural disasters, disaster prevention activities focusing on water and wind disasters in particular were studied in Kiho Town in Mie Prefecture following the Great East Japan Earthquake. As a result, information communication measures, equipment, and manuals proved to be effective in areas that are at risk of disasters other than earthquakes. In addition, the importance of sharing manuals in organizations was also shown, because disaster measures in fire companies tend to be performed based on individual experience. Furthermore, the importance of cooperation with other organizations in the region was also demonstrated.

Different Depths

It is not unfamiliar to those who have worked on large dynamos with the ballistic galvanometer, that the indications of the galvanometer do not give the whole changes which occur in the induction. Let the deflections of the galvanometer connected to an exploring coil be observed when the main current in the magnetic coils is reversed. The first elongation will be much greater than the second in the other direction, and probably the third greater than the second—showing that a continued current exists in one direction for a time comparable with the time of oscillation of the galvanometer. These effects cannot be got rid of, though they can be diminished by passing the exciting current through a non-inductive resistance and increasing the electromotive force employed. This if carried far enough would be effective if the iron of the cores were divided so that no currents could exist in the iron; but the currents in the iron, if the core is solid, continue for a considerable time and maintain the magnetism of the interior of the core in the direction it had before reversal of current. It was one of our objects to investigate this more closely by ascertaining the changes occurring at different depths in a core in terms of the time after reversal has been made. The experiments were carried out in the Siemens Laboratory, King’s College, London; and the electro-magnet used is shown in fig. 1. It consists in its first form, the results of which though instructive are not satisfactory, of two vertical wroughtiron cores, 18 inches long and 4 inches diameter, wound with 2595 and 2613 turns respectively of No. 16 B. W. G. cotton-covered copper wire—the resistance of the two coils in series being 16·3 ohms. The yoke is of wrought-iron 4 inches square in section and 2 feet long. The pole-pieces are of wrought-iron 4 inches square, and all surfaces in contact are truly planed. One of the pole-pieces is turned down at the end, which butts on the other pole-piece, for half an inch of its length to a diameter of 4 inches; and three circular grooves are cut in the abutting face having mean

The DualSPHysics code is proposed as a numerical tool for the simulation of liquid sloshing phenomena. A particular type of sloshing motion can occur during the core meltdown of a liquid metal cooled reactor (LMR) and can lead to a compaction of the fuel in the center of the core possibly resulting in energetic nuclear power excursions. This phenomenon was studied in series of “centralized sloshing” experiments with a central water column collapsing inside the surrounding cylindrical tank. These experiments provide data for a benchmark exercise for accident analysis codes. To simulate “centralized sloshing” phenomena, a numerical method should be capable to predict the motion of the free surface of a liquid, wave propagation and reflection from the walls. The DualSPHysics code based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method was applied to the simulation of “centralized sloshing” experiments. Simulation results are compared with the experimental results. In a series of numerical calculations it is shown that overall motion of the liquid is in a good agreement with experimental observations. Dependence on the initial and geometrical symmetry is studied and compared with experimental data.

Positive Effect

Crime is an integral part of every society. To a very large extent, it affects adequate functioning of the society. Over millennia, as the society has evolved, the patterns of perpetrating crime have also evolved. With globalisation and its inherent dependence on Information Communication Technologies (ICTs), new waves of crimes have swept the entire global community. Through time-space distanciation, these technologies have, on one hand, enhanced the traditional crimes and, on the other hand, created new waves of crimes. This study examines the effects of the coverage of ICTs on the perpetration of crime from and in Lagos and societal perception of those involved in cybercrimes. This study adopts the qualitative method of data collection. Four areas in Lagos were randomly selected based on their differential level of development and varying access to the digital world, and four focus group discussion sessions were held. Four case studies of those involved in cybercrimes were also conducted in each area. Content analysis was used for the analysis of data and ethnographic summaries were used to buttress the main themes of the findings that were deduced from the content analysis. The study found that the coverage of ICTs has positive effect on the existence of new waves of crime in Lagos. The farther a settlement is from the core and industrial part of Lagos, the lower the prevalence of these new waves of crime. Since all settlements in Lagos are woven into the wool of social interaction, these new waves of crime inevitably grow.

A direct divide-by-2/3 LC injection-locked frequency divider (ILFD) is presented in this paper. The proposed ILFD circuit is based on a CMOS LC tank oscillator coupled with an injection NMOS transistor in series with an inductor. Together with body-biased technique and current-reused topology, the locking range of the ILFD is improved and the power consumption is reduced. The circuit is implemented in a 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m standard RF CMOS process. At the incident power of 0[Formula: see text]dBm, the measured locking range of the divide-by-2 and divide-by-3 modes are from 5.37[Formula: see text]GHz to 7.68 (8.07[Formula: see text]GHz to 11.4[Formula: see text]GHz) GHz, and the core circuit without buffers consumes 3[Formula: see text]mW at the supply voltage of 1.5[Formula: see text]V. The chip only occupies [Formula: see text] without the pads and the buffers.
